As for Viee and Carlosein na St Mary Isolo them dey worship. Carlosein na Catechism Teacher there and I fit send guys there too. Though, my legs never reach Isolo before but as FBI wey me be now (new title) - as Viee say I dey feel like that, I fit identify una.

Lindiwe glad to know that Bayelsa is quite cool, like viee said just be watchful and careful.

No Saint of the day?

Hi guys,

Thanks a lot for your prayers. I also pray she will be ok.

@Viee & oby

Me know say una sabi yarn for mouth - so fun. You can get yourselves in our home movies? Make una listen, when my guys go reach St Charles them go know wetin to yarn. By the way, from your ID's name, one can know say you be oby and a Legionary while Viee go be Victoria or Vicky.

@Carlosein,

It's like Viee wan bring our attention to you and Parmperme. What's really happening? Make una tell us now.

@Lindiwe,

I hope say those bad guys in Bayelsa never dey demand ransom from your head? Beware of kidnappers in Bayelsa. Was in Ahoada today and that's 20 minutes to Bayelsa. Where is Lawyer and Biafran? Maybe, Uwazurike is still trying to tell us there is hope in Biafran after Ojukwu failed. Until she comes!

@oby,

I'm telling you, I switch my phone off from 10pm till the next morning because I don't joke with my sleep except now my mum is sick. It's now on for 24hrs. If there is anything my friends wants us to discuss, then let be daytime. Some people often disturb others with their midnight calls and it's wrong.

sure is wrong, i don't like it either but there are some midnite calls that might b very important.

@Oby,

Why? You no wan even dey brief me how St Charles Olodi, Apapa dey now. I could remember one group that used to meet every Sunday 4pm - it comprises young brothers and sisters. My cousin used to tell me about the group then and they used to pay him visits. I can't remember the name of the group and they give report like Legionaries.

Mass: 3 times
Communion: once
Visit to the Blessed/S: 5 time
Something like that but they are not Legionaries. Are they still existing?

St. Isidore of Seville

(560?-636)



The 76 years of Isidore's life were a time of conflict and growth for the Church in Spain. The Visigoths had invaded the land a century and a half earlier and shortly before Isidore's birth they set up their own capital. They were Arians—Christians who said Christ was not God. Thus Spain was split in two: One people (Catholic Romans) struggled with another (Arian Goths).
Isidore reunited Spain, making it a center of culture and learning, a teacher and guide for other European countries whose culture was also threatened by barbarian invaders.

Born in Cartagena of a family that included three other saints, he was educated (severely) by his elder brother, whom he succeeded as bishop of Seville.

An amazingly learned man, he was sometimes called "The Schoolmaster of the Middle Ages" because the encyclopedia he wrote was used as a textbook for nine centuries. He required seminaries to be built in every diocese, wrote a Rule for religious orders and founded schools that taught every branch of learning. Isidore wrote numerous books, including a dictionary, an encyclopedia, a history of Goths and a history of the world—beginning with creation! He completed the Mozarabic liturgy, which is still in use in Toledo, Spain. For all these reasons Isidore (as well as several other saints) has been suggested as patron of the Internet.

He continued his austerities even as he approached 80. During the last six months of his life, he increased his charities so much that his house was crowded from morning till night with the poor of the countryside.

Comment:

Our country can well use Isidore's spirit of combining learning and holiness. Loving, understanding knowledge can heal and bring a broken people back together. We are not barbarians like the invaders of Isidore's Spain. But people who are swamped by riches and overwhelmed by scientific and technological advances can lose much of their understanding love for one another. So vast was Isidore's knowledge that some moderns have proposed him as the patron of Internet users.

St. John Baptist de la Salle

(1651-1719)



Complete dedication to what he saw as God's will for him dominated the life of John Baptist de la Salle. In 1950, Pope Pius XII named him patron of schoolteachers for his efforts in upgrading school instruction. As a young seventeenth-century Frenchman, John had everything going for him: scholarly bent, good looks, noble family background, money, refined upbringing. At the early age of 11, he received the tonsure and started preparation for the priesthood, to which he was ordained at 27. He seemed assured then of a life of dignified ease and a high position in the Church.
But God had other plans for John, which were gradually revealed to him in the next several years. During a chance meeting with M. Nyel of Raven, he became interested in the creation of schools for poor boys in Raven, where he was stationed. Though the work was extremely distasteful to him at first, he became more involved in working with the deprived youths.

Once convinced that this was his divinely appointed mission, John threw himself wholeheartedly into the work, left home and family, abandoned his position as canon at Rheims, gave away his fortune and reduced himself to the level of the poor to whom he devoted his entire life.

The remainder of his life was closely entwined with the community of religious men he founded, the Brothers of the Christian School (Christian Brothers, or De La Salle Brothers). This community grew rapidly and was successful in educating boys of poor families using methods designed by John, preparing teachers in the first training college for teachers and also setting up homes and schools for young delinquents of wealthy families. The motivating element in all these endeavors was the desire to become a good Christian.

Yet even in his success, John did not escape experiencing many trials: heartrending disappointment and defections among his disciples, bitter opposition from the secular schoolmasters who resented his new and fruitful methods and persistent opposition from the Jansenists of his time, whose heretical doctrines John resisted vehemently all his life.

Afflicted with asthma and rheumatism in his last years, he died on Good Friday at 68 and was canonized in 1900.

Comment:

Complete dedication to one's calling by God, whatever it may be, is a rare quality. Jesus asks us to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength" (Mark 12:30b, emphasis added). Paul gives similar advice: "Whatever you do, do from the heart, " (Colossians 3:23).

Quote:
"What is nobler than to mold the character of the young? I consider that he who knows how to form the youthful mind is truly greater than all painters, sculptors and all others of that sort" (St. John Chrysostom).

Hey guys,

I send my greetings to you all. Where is Lawyer? Viee has disappeared too. Hope she is ok.

@Oby or Obiageri,

I'm not trying to unmask you by asking you questions. If I really want to identify you - just a trip to Lagos the job is done.

@Lindiwe,

Good to hear that you are ok and careful in Bayelsa. My mum I may say - we leave everything to God.
